I love being a mentor! - a Scholar Mentor!

Dr. Hal A. Cauthron, Chair of the School of Theology and Ministry
announced an exceptional opportunity for select students at SNU in work
with a not-yet-published Dead Sea Scroll (DSS).

Discovered in the Judean Desert not far from Jerusalem, the Dead
Sea Scrolls are some of our oldest copies of the Bible. Their
discovery, translation and examination have significantly shaped what we
know about Judaism just before the time of Jesus. While most of the
scrolls have been researched and published by
Biblical Scholars, a few portions have yet to be fully examined.
Students who have the ability to work on this DSS are working with
SNU Professor, Dr. Marty Alan Michelson in connection with the Green Scholars Initiative.
This unique opportunity for SNU students emerged in conjunction with
the Green Scholars Initiative when Executive Director Dr. Jerry
Pattengale discovered Dr. Michelson’s work. This initiative is the
research arm of the Green Collection, over 40,000 Bible artifacts and
Biblical texts made available by the owners of Hobby Lobby.
